"Ara ara~ You're finally here!" Elenor said as she approached Seal. It was as if they hadn't met a few hours ago.
"Elen, it hasn't been that long since we last saw each other." Seal smiled wryly before standing up and opening his arms for an embrace.
Elenor, seeing that, immediately jumped into his embrace.
"Snuggle Snuggle Snuggle" Elenor truly took her time hugging Seal.
It was not until Alice and Yukina separated them because they were annoyed that Elenor was taking all the spaces in Seal's embrace to herself.
"That's not fair, Elenor/Elder Sister!" They simultaneously said out loud.
"Hehe, it's you guys' fault for being too slow." Elenor stuck out her tongue at them.
"Of course, I haven't forgotten about you guys." Seal took turns hugging Alice and Yukina.
"Seal, let's soak in the warm water now?" Elenor suggested with a hint of excitement.
"Un, sure. I was planning on asking you guys that anyways." Seal said with a smile.
Thus they thoroughly enjoyed their time in the hot spring.
Meanwhile, Rena came into the hot spring and was greeted by all the maids there.
"Welcome, Goddess Rena." The maids said.
"Did you see an odd-looking person wearing a mask come in here?" Rena asked one of the maids.
"...Yes." After hearing Rena's question, the maids inadvertently blushed, remembering the man's handsome appearance.
"Where is he?" Rena found it weird that they are blushing. Usually, they would not blush even in front of her, the most beautiful goddess in Elios.
"Goddess Rena, he is in the mixed bathing area with three other women."
"Who are they?"
"It seems they were Miss Yukina, Miss Elenor, and Miss Alice, Goddess Rena."
'Huh?' Rena was confused as to why those three women were there.
"What are they doing here?"
"We don't know, Goddess Rena. But they seem to be very close to each other."
"You can leave now," Rena said to the maids.
"Yes."
After telling the maids to leave, Rena proceeded to cast an invisible spell on herself. She wanted to see what the mysterious man and those three women were doing.
It was natural that she was curious since this was an unknown god. This was also a god that she has never seen or heard of before.
Rena walked toward the mixed bathing area and entered the changing room for that area.
She saw 4 maids standing inside staring at one spot with steam coming off of their faces.
Each one of the maids was holding clothes that belong to the four people inside the bathing area. But what caught Rena's attention was the mask that one of the maids was holding.
'That man must've taken their mask off.' Rena thought to herself.
But soon, Rena smiled to herself.
'This will be a good chance to get a good look at you and find out about your identity.'
When she was about to enter the bathing area, a soft but powerful voice sounded inside her head.
"Do not spy on me while I am bathing in the hot spring. This is the only warning I am giving you, Goddess Rena."
Hearing this, Rena froze in shock. How did this person know I was here?! I was pretty sure I used a divine artifact to make myself invisible to others. Even the other gods would have a hard time noticing my presence!
But this person saw right through her in an instant!
